[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 162776, member: 221"] It is interesting but again makes (and develops its thesis from) the same unproven assumption that the Polythiesm was an earlier relgious practice than Monotheism when there is some evidence to the contrary. He also asserts several things in the article without offering evidence. For example the statement that each tribe had its own god when they left Egypt would require some proof (at least for me). And the statement that it was Isaiah who first advocates Monothiesm shows a relative ignorance of earlier scriptures (or at least a bias on the writers part - as is demonstrated by his dating of the Pentateuch). I just think, and it was the point of my first post, that people when they post that sort of thing on a board should realize that they are in fact starting a religious discussion on the merits of Judiasm and Christianity. The same is true in addressing religious scriptures as myth (as the title of the thread does). [/QUOTE]
